Haslett man enters no-contest plea in crash injuring girl, mom

LANSING - A Haslett man charged with leaving the scene of a crash that injured a mother and daughter last spring in Meridian Township has accepted a plea deal.

Logan Richard Milliman, 23, pleaded no contest Wednesday to a felony count of leaving the scene of a serious injury crash, court records show. Prosecutors dismissed a misdemeanor count of leaving the scene of an injury accident.

The crash happened about 7 a.m. March 27 on East Lake Drive at Oak Park Trail.

Police said Milliman was driving south when he struck a 13-year-old girl and her 42-year-old mother waiting at a school bus stop. The girl was treated and released at a hospital, but her mother was seriously injured.

The driver didn't stop at the scene, but police located him and his vehicle the next day.

A no-contest plea is not a formal admission of guilt but is treated as such for sentencing purposes.

The felony driving charge is punishable by up to five years in prison upon conviction. But Milliman entered his plea with the understanding his initial jail term will not exceed 90 days, court records indicate.

An attorney listed for Milliman in court records could not immediately be reached for comment.
